Ringo Starr’s new ebook, PHOTOGRAPH, a collection of his never-before-seen photographs, is released
on June 12 2013 on the iBookstore and RingoPhotograph.com

Unseen images
taken by Ringo and from his personal archives, accompanied by his audio, text
and video captions, are showcased in ‘Photograph’ for the very first time to

‘These are shots that no one else could have.’ – Ringo

Ringo shares
forgotten photographs and stories of his childhood home, family holidays and
all-night parties on his road to stardom. He candidly captures his Beatles
bandmates in pensive and playful moments: washing, eating, recording, smoking,
drinking and playing monopoly. Pictures of ‘the boys’ are joined by Ringo’s
travel photography, taking you inside the car with The Beatles as they toured
the world. From the position of a friend, bandmate and skilled photographer,
Ringo portrays four lads from Liverpool trying to live normal lives amidst the
frenzy that surrounded them. This is the album of Ringo’s life, from his time
in hospital, where he played a drum for the first time, to growing up in
Liverpool amidst the excitement of the emerging Merseybeat scene, to playing in
the biggest band in the world.

‘A good time was had by all in those days.’ – Ringo

Readers can
pick up and zoom in on 140 photographs as they scroll through Ringo’s memoir,
while 69 audio clips narrated by Ringo tell the previously unheard stories
behind the photos. Ringo has also filmed 11 exclusive videos for this
ebook, featuring music and animation and new interviews from Ringo Starr.
Ringo’s first multimedia edition is a must-have for fans of The Beatles and
anyone passionate about modern music.

‘Genesis did a great job on my book POSTCARDS FROM THE BOYS – so why would
I go anywhere else? I did my first book with the father and now my second with
his son.’ – Ringo

About Genesis Publications:

‘It’s an honour to publish Ringo Starr and create a first-ever ebook
for Genesis Publications in aid of The Lotus Foundation.’ – Nick Roylance,
Genesis Publications

In the late 19th
century, under the influence of William Morris, the private press flourished in
Britain, creating books that were works of art in themselves. Similarly
inspired, Genesis Publications was founded as an independent publishing house
true to the arts of printing and craftsmanship.

In an interview with The New York Times, Genesis’ late founder Brian Roylance
commented, ‘I don’t know of many people
who go to this much trouble to produce a book anymore. But I think there is a
future for it.’ Inspired by this idea, Genesis is proud to create some of
the most sought after books in the world.

Authors and
contributors who have participated in Genesis limited editions include David
Bowie, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Pete Townshend, Yoko Ono, Sir George
Martin, Jimmy Page and The Rolling Stones.

Genesis dispatches books to a global community of readers in over 50
countries. Around 100 signed limited editions have been created with renowned
authors, as varied as they are many. Their editions feature in the collections
of the world’s finest libraries, including New York Public Library’s Rare and
Fine Printed Book Department.

‘Genesis Publications... creators of lushly
designed rock photo books.’ – The New York Times
